Family Portraits at Wild Wings, Mendon Ponds

I've known Mikaela all of her life (hehe), and I've known her parents longer. It's been an honor to have them as members in our Portrait Membership program, and get watch them all grow together as a family.

I also have a two year old who never sits still. So I'm no stranger to chasing a two year old around at a family portrait session. 

Which is exactly what I did with Mikaela. She's a peanut, but she's a fast peanut. She ran around the trail at Mendon Ponds like she owned the place. And she stopped only long enough to watch a few birds land in their hands at the Wild Wings Nature Center. (If you've never been there, it's a fun place and an easy hike for toddlers!)

By the end - Mom, Dad, and Grandma might have had tired legs, but Mikaela could have kept going all day. What an adventurous and adorable little lady!

I can't wait to see where the adventures take them next!

Family Portraits at Long Acre Farms

It may have been threatening rain, but that didn't put a damper on these kids' spirits! Big sister was all about sharing pumpkins and seeing how many she could carry at once, while her little brother just wanted to hang out with mom and ride in the wagon. Long Acre Farms is such a great location with lots of activities for kids of all ages! And really, what beats Fall family portraits at the farm? 

Hope you can join us for more Fall fun at our next event on October 30! We'll be at Wickham Farms, so come say hello! More details on Facebook.

Fairport NY Candid Family Pictures: Lollypop Farm and Playground Fun

Goats, horses, pigs AND a playground? What a fun combo!

Our membership events are in full swing (no pun intended, just a nice coincidence). And this month we visited Lollypop Farms in Fairport with the littles in our membership program.

One of the truly beautiful aspects of this program is that there's no pressure. Letting the kids be kids is exactly what this is all about. Exploring, playing, climbing, swinging, laughing, being goofy with goats, slides and with you.

It's so much fun for us to capture. With no pressure to get "the perfect shot", we can get some amazing smiles in photographs - some that you'd never expect to get anywhere else.

And all by just letting the kids be themselves.

Membership Event at The Sandbox: Fairport NY Photographers

Another day, another fun event! Sometimes, I can't believe this is what we get to do for a living. We spent a few hours hanging out at The Sandbox Indoor Playground while the kids got to roam and play. How much fun is that, right?

The families in our membership program get to enjoy time with their littles, we take care of the photography, and we get to have fun chasing cute kids around with our camera. Everybody wins! 

My, how our Friday nights can change as we become families and parents. And if you ask these parents, they wouldn't have it any other way!

Many thanks to Diane at the Sandbox for helping with this event! If you are looking for a fun spot for your child's next birthday party, check them out!

Hope to see you at our next event! If you have requests or suggestions let us know!
